Cribs: bands are rubbish

you know you're in trouble when The Cribs are genuinely one of the best bands in the country.

But i wish they'd have the balls to just says which bands they don't like, we all know most the stuff in the NME is shit.

I was there at their Glastonbury performance and his remark was so obviously tongue-in-cheek... and while most 'publications' acknowledged it as such eventually, they still made a really big deal about it. It was an onstage quip, it was funny (well, we were knee-deep in mud at the time) and that's it.

This is a dead issue.

to be endearing? give me a luke haines anyday over a simpering cocksucker like giantfaced keane man

for one, it's quite an unintelligible sentence.
for two, you're saying that off the back of one news story? jesus christ.

i'm guessing that the cribs with their average boringness they pedal are not one of the "couple of good bands" around.

Anyway I was surprised that the news source was NME, I though that this news would have been so important it would have been on reuters.

and i love them extra when they slag stuff off. it's funny and they are brilliant, ergo everything is good.

not mentioning bands is a good thing, otherwise it would look like some tabloid *this band* vs *this band* thing which would be a bit wank. So good on em. Though, obvious point I guess...

because, in relative terms, no-one actually buys their records, do they?

".....just doing the same and jumping on the band wagon"

Hmmmm, exactly what YOU have done you gimps - there is nothing original in their music whatsoever. Plus they are grunpy, drunken fuckwits whenever I see or hear them interviewed

Also, sad attempt at self promotion. Album doing poorly? Call NME, slag off other bands doing better business than them, hope to bump up own sales. Lack of ethics? I think so

Now I don't listen to the Cribs, because I don't make much of a distinction between their music and most other bands' stuff I hear on the radio or see on TV. But there's as much good music in the world right now as there has been at any point in the last few decades. It's not in the charts, granted, but if its good, and you like it, then why care? Yer man needs to broaden his horizons and listen to something that isn't playlisted on Radio 1 or in the NME chart on MTV2.

im pretty sure if their single had reached #5 and not #17, and their album #3 and not #13, they'd be less complaints from their general direction

if you're unhappy with music in a particular scene, then look elsewhere. music isn't rubbish; indie music is rubbish.

at a forward russia after party.

at 2am, whilst a bit drunk, i spotted him and began an interview with 'hi..ryan jarvis..interview..yes..hello'

it didn't go that well looking back.

they're shit

cribs : are rubbish

LIES LIES LIES!

that they spoil their nice pop tunes with all this scenester hating rubbish.

their new album is their most successful to date and they don't the NME to bring them extra success because they have one of the most loyal fanbases around and got both their comeback album and singles in the top 20 without any real advertising. I also doubt that the cribs "called up the NME," because the NME blood bum them to hell and anything slightly interesting to do with the cribs will be printed or on nme.com within minutes. the jarmans are the true voice of modern indie rock and if you haven't seen it by now then fuck off.

Ha ha your band is fuckin one of them you cunt. Surely they cant expect not to ge crtiscised for their own musical errors by diverting it over towards other bands who sound similar. This really annoys me
